We now know that the government (both federal and state) thinks we, the proletariat, are “nonessential.” They showed us this by decreeing that some of us hold non-essential jobs and shut us out of those jobs, thus destroying our livelihoods.

In my life, I’ve found that if someone hates me, it is proper to hate them back. So it stands to reason that if the government finds me nonessential that I should find the government nonessential. They decreed that I can’t earn a living, so how can I decree that they can’t earn a living? Simple: Don’t pay taxes.

The only thing the government creates is chaos. It then forces us to pay for it.
